Personal Commentary/Observation
So many trees are finally starting to bloom or are sprouting buds at last. Should be an interesting spring as we've had a goodly amount of rain recently, and more to come this week. I guess it's that whole "in like a lion" thing. Sadly, I have to report that the lawn gnome lady and her husband are now in assisted living. I go by their house 3 times a week at least on my walks and if they're out I stop and visit a bit. She hand paints quite a few different lawn gnomes for her little front yard alcove. She also has little concrete children on her front sidewalk and a couple of fairies overseeing the driveway. I will miss seeing them on my walks.
